About Movie

Ali Fazal headlines Netflix original, House Arrest, directed by Shashanka Ghosh and Samit Basu. The film aims to address a lot of urbane issues, touches upon a few but explores none to a powerful impact.

 Karan (Ali) is a banker who has been staying inside his posh, luxurious flat for nine months and has literally not stepped outside his main door. However, he is not a loner, neither is he a psycho. He is very much the social animal that humans are – he talks to friends over phone, watches people on the street from his balcony and even spies on neighbours.

He manages his household chores with the help of a robot who cleans the place for him and maids and watchmen in the building who carry out chores like brining groceries and cash to his doorstep. Karan lives a perfectly normal, rather privileged life, in which he has gadgets to play with, a rich kitchen where he often whips up delicious meals garnished in a way suitable for seven-star restaurants.  Basically, he runs a pretty much sorted and peaceful life and even earns a living through Skype consultations.

Karan’s neighbour Pinky –wearing all Pink – brings a pink-coloured huge suitcase to his flat and coerces him to keep it for a day.The suitcase is supposed to add comedy to the plot -  it holds ‘a dead body’ that just won’t die. The man keeps popping out of the suitcase and novelty of the gig could only last once or twice it first happened. Why would a Dubai don handover a corpse or a kidnapped person to a layman? Why should the man in captivity be not even intoxicated properly? Why should such a suitcase not even have a lock?


Answers to such questions shall not be entertained in a film like House Arrest, because why go for rationale and common sense when you can simply throw in a girl, some romantic tension, and sex? Oh, and the romance and sex must come after some discussions over cheating, loyalty and commitment issues to keep it all guilt-free and ‘progressive’.
